It’s been 18 months since they “pivoted”. Come back in 5-10 years to see who was right. Assuming the metaverse is a failure at this point is simply arrogant.

yeah, and then you'll say hindsight is 20/20 and who could have predicted the failure?

Most likely people who predict failure will say of course Mark managed to make it work because he could afford to throw billions on top of billions after it.

The metaverse is a 10 year bet that involves progress across multiple axes. No-one here can predict the state of progress in ten years.
